Want to stay in the know on all things ISA Toronto? Now there’s an app for that.
With more people than ever using a smartphone as their calendar, contact list, day planner, encyclopedia, calculator, and even (believe it or not) their phone, ISA Toronto is pleased to announce the release of their mobile application. This app is currently available as a native app on iTunes, Google Play and the Windows Phone Marketplace, and can also be accessed from most other devices through the HTML5 site.
The ISA Toronto mobile app is an easy way to keep on top of section news and events through the integrated events calendar and Twitter feed. Society news is also there thanks to the ISA Interchange news feed which highlights stories from around the world. Last but not least, contact information for the section and its officers and a quick link to the ISA Toronto website.
The mobile app will also let the ISA send meeting and event notifications directly to members’ phones through push notifications. This, along with all of the other features incorporated in the app will help keep members up to date on what is happening around the section. The app is free of charge and available now.
